Marian’s Note: Cinderella by African American Shakespeare is a Christmas tradition in our family.  I recommend this show for families of all ages, even my teen daughter loves the show!  Take my advice and go!  I can’t recommend this production highly enough.  We have seen this show several times and still enjoy each year.
